New attachment settings

As described here, the MapCore attachment settings were modified in March 2008. You can now post 500kb images, you get 15 of them per post, and the thumbnails are optimally sized rather than being tiny.

Below is an example of an inline attachment. It's automatically framed, it's linked to a full-size version, and it includes a caption if you define one.

If you attach some images but don't put them in a particular part of your post, they'll be put at the bottom as seen below. You'll probably prefer to use the inline versions so you can choose where they're displayed and in what order.

I'm not quite understanding what you mean e-freak.

At the moment it only parses files uploaded through the forums, but the image clipping thing does annoy me too and I'm going to look into implementing something that'll produce thumbnails for external images tonight. The thumbnail almost certainly won't be as high-quality as it'll just resize the original live image rather than produce a second thumbnail version, but it'll make sure it gets seen properly.

Sorry, I'm working on the image resizer now. I had to fiddle with some settings temporarily, and probably will again. Bear with me.

Oh, I didn't realise middle click was cancelled out on those. I'll adjust the Javascript tomorrow so it works.

OK, new solution is now in place. Similar to before, but any links applied to the original image are left alone and a bar is added above it instead. This means that it's now much more clear that the image has indeed been resized, and people can open the full-size version using their usual browser clicking functionality (middle click for new tab, etc).
